Executive Order 8351—Exemption of Sims Ely From Compulsory Retirement for Age

Whereas, in my judgment, the public interest requires that Sims Ely, City Manager of Boulder City, Nevada, who was exempted from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year ending March 31, 1940, by Executive Order No. 8070 of March 21, 1939, be further exempted from such compulsory retirement for a period of one year:

Now, Therefore, by virtue of and pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 204 of the act of June 30, 1932, 47 Stat. 382, 404 (U.S.C., title 5, sec. 715a), I hereby further exempt the said Sims Ely from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year ending March 31, 1941.
